Just moved everybody (again) to the 75 gallon yesterday. I call it my 10-10-10 tank. Got my Current Sundial T5 HO fixture over it - I've had it since December of last year but am only putting it to use now. I'm running only the LEDs, one actinic lamp, and one 10000k lamp and it's VERY bright - like daylight in my basement. My fuzzy dwarf seems to like cruising when only the actinics and/or the LEDs are on. It doesn't seem to like the daylight bulb too much because it spends a lot of time under an overhanging rock when it's on. I'm thinking of getting a little more rock in the tank so Spitter (the lionfish) can have more choices on where to hang out during the 'daytime'. With all the bright light available now, I am leaning towards getting some zoas or mushrooms in the tank. Just some undemanding coral when it comes to chemistry, if you know what I mean. I think my lights should be sufficient for some mushrooms. I really don't want to run more lights for one, because of the expense, and for another I don't think I could stand to have my basement so bright - I do live in the Northwest, after all! As it stands, I'm somewhat worried about my lionfish getting blinded by the lights and if I have to choose, I will choose my fuzzy and just use a dual fluorescent bulb over the tank. Will my lionfish be okay with the 10000k bulb?
